Thanks for the thoughts. We are likely going to be
refreshing and rebuilding at least three
multi-terabyte databases every month for development.
Same for systems and integration testing. Speed is
definitely an issue.
We would also like to reduce the number of DBA
resources required to do this. That is what
originally drove the Symclone question. Can we do
this with little, or no, DBA time? There seems to be
agreement that it is slow. Guess we need a 'Plan B'.
